The international silence about the ban on drugs entering Sana’a airport is strange.
According to Al-Masira, Khalid Al-Shaif, the director of Sana’a International Airport, announced that Yemeni passengers, especially patients, are facing a lot of suffering. Because the number of weekly flights has decreased from 6 flights to 3 flights.
Al-Shaif added: Many patients who traveled abroad for treatment are still stuck abroad due to the large number of requests for tickets for this number of flights.
Referring to the lack of flights, he continued: establishing flights to 5 destinations and having daily flights is the least measure to reduce the sufferings of passengers.
The director of Sana’a International Airport further announced: the entry of medicine and medical supplies through Sana’a Airport has been prohibited until today.
Referring to the strange silence of the international community and the United Nations regarding the ban on the entry of drugs to Sana’a airport, he said: The silence of the international community and the United Nations on the ban on the entry of drugs through Sana’a airport, despite the dire need for these drugs. It is surprising.
While referring to the type of humanitarian aid sent to Yemen and the time it was received, Al-Shayef continued: The humanitarian aid we receive is not for terminally ill patients, and these shipments reach us after stopping at other airports and with a delay.
Referring to the readiness of Sana’a airport for more flights, the manager of Sana’a airport said: “We are ready to receive more than 10 daily flights at Sana’a airport.”
